121.  new years eve - american pleasure club

          Released: 2018

120.  Latch - Disclosure/Sam Smith

          Released: 2012

          Genre: Deep House, Synthpop

117.  Plains - Deerhunter

          Released: 2019

113.  Pyramids - Noonie Bao

          Released: 2015

          Genre: Synthpop

          Released: 2016

          Genre: K-pop, Dance pop

          Comment: They did THAT :jonny: Sistar were one of the sexiest, and vocally gifted groups in Kpop. And this was an absolute banger.

109.  Katy on a Mission - Katy B

          Released: 2010

          Genre: UK Garage, Dubstep, Drum & Bass. 

          Comment: The quality whew. Katy does not get her credit as an innovator in the pop landscape, this track preceding brass dubstep incorperations to many large pop acts.

105.  C'mon - Kesha

          Released: 2012

          Genre: Pop

          Comment: It's kind of hard to praise keshas older music context considered, but at the end of the day its HER art. This song was v underrated and deserved better, pure pop bliss.

 

104.  Timebomb - Kylie Minogue

          Released: 2012

          Genre: Pop, Disco

          Comment: WHO is doing it like Kylie at her age. What an earworm.

 

103.  I Belong in Your Arms - Chairlift

          Released: 2012

          Genre: Indie pop, Synthpop

          Comment: Quintessential Chairlift track, predates the 80s throwback trend too!

 

102.  4 Walls - f(x)

          Released: 2015

          Genre: K-pop, House

          Comment: This track was quite impactful in breaking the critic circle in western music, though that says more about them than about k-pop. RIP to Sulli :cries:.

 

101.  No Devotion - White Hinterland

          Released: 2014

          Genre: Art Pop, Indie Rock

          Comment: The sharp riff in the beginning instantly hooks you, and you stay for the awesome jarring vocal performance.

Oh I remember when ATRL was all over Beat of My Drum while I was sitting there like :mandown:

Good Form and Skyfall are good :heart2: Latch + Los Ageless :jamming: Ain't It Fun is amazing of course :clap3: I actually prefer their poppier sound as well, even though it's not by a large amount. C'mon :alexz: Yup it's really a discography highlight and should've been #1 instead of WRWWR.

This is true. I remember being shook when the Pitchfork review came out for it.
